Please translate one phrase into spanish
How do you say in spanish "The best has happened to me. Or I don't know what is good"?
Would it be "El mejor se ocurrió. O no sE que es bueno"? |

Quote:
The edit window has a drop-down list labeled "Accents" that you can use to insert accented characters and Spanish punctuation characters. Things to consider: 1. "El/la mejor" means "the best one" (a specific thing), and not "the best" (an abstract concept). The usual way to use an adjective ("mejor" = "better" or "best) as an abstract noun ("the best") is to make it a neuter noun by using the neuter definite article "lo": "lo mejor" = "the best", "lo bueno" = "that which is good", "lo malo" = "that which is bad", "lo peor" = "the worst". 2. "se ocurrió" = "(has) happened", but where is the "to me"? 3. Initial question marks and exclamation points are mandatory. 4. "se" (no accent mark) is an object pronoun: as written the question looks like it has no verb. 5. "que" (no accent mark) = "that" (relative pronoun), not "what?" (interrogative pronoun). If you really want to use a relative pronoun in this sentence, "que" is the wrong one: you would need to use the appropriate gender/number of "el que", and in this case you would use neuter gender. |
